We have been married almost two years. Marriage was her idea,I have a house, her cars were reposed in a few months. I wanted to wait at least a year. My#2, Her#4. We are raising a wonderful preteen girl(step kid for me and I love this girl, like my very own child).I've been off work for over a year, but start a great job on Monday. So things will be getting better, In ther last year, she was going to leave because of the TY show I was watching(simpsons). She gets mad and tears things up, then laughs beause it bothers me. Every time she runs out of her meds, she packs to leave me.

Just at my end here. Had to see the Doc for some pills to help with stress, now she backing her bags because I won't show her the bottel and tell her how many I've taken since yesterday. Sucks, but I'm warn the F out! My wife is By Polar, sometimes it grear, sometime it isn't. Just wish things could stay even for a whole month, just once! Any advice?

Can someone worth more than 99.9% of the rest of Americans really understand what it means to be a "average" person in our country today?

Our 12 year-old has told us she is gay. She has always been a "tomboy". The revelation was not a shock to us. She is very well adjusted and the greatest joy of my life. We are accepting of her and have no religious oppositions to a healthy gay life style.

We have asked her if she would like to talk to someone with a better understanding of the subject than we might have. She says she has no strong desire to talk to anyone else about her sexuality. One concern is not to put our daughter in counseling, I don't want to put that "stigma" on her. She is very emotionally healthy, straight A student, that has no problems interacting with other children her age(or adults).

We have a family friend that is a very professional person and a lesbian. Should we ask her to talk with our daughter? I value her opinion.

My question is to other parents or gay teens, who have been here. What would be the best way help keep my beautiful daughter on the right track? What should we do, or not do?

She has a close friend that she tells us is her girlfriend. The girl is from a good family and is also very well adjusted. I have no problems with their relationship, nor does her mother.

She has told us that her only homosexual contact has been a kiss. They have told other children that they are girlfriends. There was an incident at a school dance, where another girl recorded them dancing together and said she was going to post it on YouTube. The two girls didn't seem to care, but we were a little shocked when she told us.

Band camp will be coming up soon and the girls want to room together. We are a little concerned about that they will not have the supervision that they have had at home. There have been sleep-overs. I just don't feel comfortable with the thought of anyone "making out" with my 12 year-old. Even another 12 year-old girl!

Please only productive comments, if you have a strong negative opinion on the subject, keep it to yourself! Thank you.

My house is a little over 13 years old. We have two bathrooms that share an interior wall. After running the shower or lavatory faucet(in either bathroom), there is a "ticking" noise that can be heard behind the shower enclosure. There is a vent through the roof in that area. Am I hearing condensation dripping? There are no signs of leaks. I'm not overly concerned about the noise, just curious. Any ideas what it might be? Should it be addressed? Thanks in advance!

My computer has been sending links to people on my email list. Think I must have a virus. I use AVG and Microsoft Security Essentials and run scans often. What can I do to fix this problem?
